"Best spot to take photos with a Jakarta view (Bundaran HI and several towers).
This halte had several restaurants, toilets, mushala, and photo spots.
I came here at noon when the sun getting down with a cloudy sky. And when returned from Kota Tua, it was a storm.
But, we just took a picture here when storm happened. ππ
The rain was pouring heavy until the floor wet and we hardly crossed the road to the MRT Station."

"The nice place for Tourists attractions.
There are two shopping malls nearby. You can get designer branded clothing, jewelry, perfumes and accessories."

"It's my first time to visit this bus halt, interesting and has a good view towards iconic Jakarta's Bundaran HI fountain and historical buildings around.
At top floor is a food street and there's a small Musholla.
I suggest installing an aircon inside Musholla cause it's hot inside during bright daytime, outside was a lot cooler.
We visited this place on Sunday around 11-12:00 PM, was a bit crowded."
